Client Video: Enerjy for Java Development

By leelefever on January 22, 2008 - 9:47am.

Enerjy was our first client production focused on the world of software development tools (its a plug-in for Eclipse.)  Enerjy does something unique: it looks at Java code and produces the Enerjy Index - a 1-10 scale of integrity. This helps developers understand what parts of the code are likely to produce bugs - and why.  The video will hopefully make this clear:




Understanding the Enerjy Index was the goal and we found that it
shared some things with human blood pressure: both expose something hidden, use a scale to relate problems and both are fixable. This video uses this real-world example to relate
the idea that there are symptoms of problems in software code and if
they are identified using the Enerjy Index, they can be fixed before
it's too late. 

We really enjoyed working with Nigel and the team at Enerjy - they tell us that we "pulled it off!" :)

You can find this video on YouTube or use the embed code if you'd like to share it:

You sure did pull it off!

Lee, as you know, when we started with this project, we were a bit worried about whether you could take a jargon-filled subject like software development and explain Enerjy in less than three minutes.

But the finished result speaks for itself, you did a fantastic job. We're really pleased with the result. And, it was a pleasure working with you and Sachi.

Thanks for helping us explain Enerjy to the world!

What are the differences

What are the differences between Enerjy and Java?

Enerjy vs Java

To continue Lee's blood pressure analogy, that's a bit like asking what the differences are between blood and blood pressure.

In other words, Java is the programming language that developers use to write software. We call what they write "Java code." Enerjy is a way of measuring how likely their Java code is to fail.

Hope that helps.

Enerjy for Java

I am J2EE Developer and I am currently using Hamurapi for our code. It comes with hell a lot of inspectors which is check potential issues with Threads, EJB etc. I just went through the specification of Enerjy and didnt find much on the EJB side rather Enerjy concentrates much on pure core java coding standards and web compliance. We need to wait and see about this usability.
